RE: Qurator's Mischievous Mondays | Photogenic Memory
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Starting today, I remember absolutely everything I see, hear, and read. The pages of the books I devoured, the news read in the blink of an eye, the details of conversations that used to be lost in the rush of everyday life... everything is now recorded with precision in my mind. This mind, which once could be compared to a warehouse with confusing corridors, is now a well-cataloged library, where each volume is within reach of my hands—or rather, my memory.
Where do I begin when I have all the world’s knowledge at my disposal? Perhaps with that physics book that always intimidated me but now, word by word, will be absorbed and understood. Or with the languages I always wanted to learn and that now come easily, without the exhausting repetition of vocabulary and grammar. The thirst for new things has turned into a routine.
However, remembering everything has its pitfalls. The overload of information can become overwhelming. Every casual conversation might bring back details that were once irrelevant. The line between knowledge and noise is thin, and the need for wisdom in curating what is worth remembering is a challenge for me, like a new skill to develop.
What do I do with this superhuman ability? It’s an opportunity to contribute to various fields, but it also requires a delicate balance. I don’t know if I could live without the power to forget and, thus, move forward.
